Overview

- We are host to a prestigious NIHR postdoctoral fellowship examining the impact of fluctuating health on health economic outcome measures.

- We have expertise in comparing the performance of health, capability and wellbeing outcomes at a general international level, as well as for more specific patient populations.

- We also have experience of validating measures in specific contexts using both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
